Eliot and John Ashbery. In Place , Graham explores the ways in which our imagination, intuition, and experience aid us in navigating a world moving towards its own annihilation and a political reality where the human person and its dignity are increasingly disposable. These poems seek out sites of wakeful resistance and achieved presence. From the natural world to human sensation, they investigate the reality and irreducible originality of our “inner landscapes.” They test the unstable “congeries” of the self, its ever-shifting vitality, and the creative tensions that inevitably exist within and between its interior and exterior life-particularly as these are shaped by language. In an era where distrust and evasion of human experience and its attendant accountability are pervasive, Place calls us to re-inhabit and make full use of—and even rejoice in—a more responsive and responsible place of the human in the world.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780062190642","publication_date":"20120424","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"place","subtitle":"New Poems","title":"Place"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POE023050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Family Poems","score":0.8076,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Place Poetry","score":0.802,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Nature Poetry","score":0.7972,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POE023050","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Family Poems","score":0.8076,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023040","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Place Poetry","score":0.802,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POE023030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Nature Poetry","score":0.7972,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"LCO010000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Essay Collections","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LCO017000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Medieval Collections","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LCO018000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Speeches Collection","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE000000","confidence_band":"high","label":"POETRY / General","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE001000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Poetry Anthologies","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE005010","confidence_band":"high","label":"American Poetry","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE023020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Love Poetry","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POE023030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Nature Poetry","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Family Poems","score":0.8076,"slug":"family-poems"},{"label":"Place Poetry","score":0.802,"slug":"place-poetry"},{"label":"Nature Poetry","score":0.7972,"slug":"nature-poetry"}],"reader_fit":["For readers of poems probing inner life and human responsibility in a threatened world."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Jorie Graham"],"book_id":"9780062315441","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062315441.jpg?v=eae54324cd50c36a","score":0.8459,"title":"From the New World","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062315441"},{"authors":["Robert Bly"],"book_id":"9780060930691","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780060930691.jpg?v=cb4c1866cadb1d84","score":0.7185,"title":"Eating the Honey of Words","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780060930691"},{"authors":["Jane Hirshfield"],"book_id":"9780060959012","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780060959012.jpg?v=8e9300183f060cf1","score":0.7021,"title":"Given Sugar, Given Salt","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780060959012"},{"authors":["Gary Snyder"],"book_id":"9781619027381","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781619027381.jpg?v=e79d8bd1c63577dc","score":0.698,"title":"This Present Moment","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781619027381"},{"authors":["Zoe Hitzig"],"book_id":"9780062977465","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062977465.jpg?v=83a48c30460ac775","score":0.6955,"title":"Mezzanine","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062977465"},{"authors":["J.
